Welcome back to The Single Life! These posts are meant to encourage and strengthen single Christian women in their walk with the Lord. They are to help you become more intentional and live life now instead of waiting for a husband who may or may not ever come. Last year when I did The Single Life […]

I think I mixed something up. I think that this post probably should have been the second post about thriving instead of scheduling it when I did, but I didn’t catch it until I sat down to write it. Are you stuck in self-pity? Depression? Anger? Or does it seem like you are just going […]

I have recently developed an interest in Korean television dramas and movies. They are very moving and a little different from American TV shows. Most of them only last 1 season. From the first episode to the last episode, you are watching a story unfold. The completed season is the completed story. I find them […]

If you had met me 20 years ago, you would have met a very different person than the person you meet here each day. When I graduated from high school, I was angry, scared and very bitter. I didn’t trust myself or others. I was withdrawn from everyone around me. I was seriously depressed and […]

I hate being afraid, but it seems like I have spent a lot of my life being afraid. When I graduated from high school, I really wanted to go to college right away, but I was injured. When I was finally able to start, it was at a local community college and I quit after […]

I started this series and due to illness I disappeared for a week. Because of my disappearance I will be posting 2 posts daily for the upcoming week in order to catch up. I have developed a dislike of labels. We use them every day in various ways and in many ways labels are helpful. […]
